What rugs are in fashion?
Rug styles that are dominating the conversation right now include irregular shapes, be they soft and smooth asymmetric curves or angular geometric forms. Designers are seeking to break from tradition with these playful new choices and also challenge the linear nature of rooms. We are also seeing the continued resurgence of bold colors across the interior design world, popular patterns like stripes and checks are adorning rugs with new and fresh colorways.
“I love solid rugs with strong borders or bold solids,” says, Toronto-based designer Ali Budd. Rugs are also following the trend that seems to be permeating the worlds of interiors and fashion, as we see more and more people looking to old staples of elegance and subtle luxury. “When in doubt, you can always do something like a classic check- a tone-on-tone check will always be on-trend,” adds Ali. These are rugs that celebrate a ‘less is more’ approach and showcase tonal hues and timeless patterns.
